Comments - Fantastic depiction of the two great generals Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin in a fierce battle. Surprising Shingen in his camp, Kenshin charges ahead on his dappled horse, grasping his sword with both hands, slashing at his enemy. Still seating on his folding camp stool, Shingen deflects the blow with his iron battle fan, glaring with rage. At right the one-eyed general Yamamato Kansuke, a loyal retainer of Shingen, attacks an intruder with his spear. An incredible dynamic image, full of energy and action with large expressive figures and wonderful detail. An outstanding scene illustrating the famous war between Kai and Echigo provinces during the 16th century.
